"South Asia’s Nuclear Security provides a detailed account of the nuclear security predicament in South Asia. From the perspectives of both the optimists and pessimists, Chakma elaborates on the multitude of factors that have contributed to the ever-tumultuous Indo-Pakistani security relations. Each chapter contains a rich bibliographical reference section highlighting a very detailed analysis of the nuclear issue in the region...Chakma provides an important and prominent case for the advancement of sub-systemic approaches to security, highlighting the need in understanding sub- systemic security dynamics as well."
